"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Yeah, the issue is that the amount you'd be willing to pay for it ($5) is a fraction of a fraction of the cost it takes to provide the service to you. It is a completely non-viable business.
Of course, a lack of viability has never stopped anyone from profiting, our economy is really more of a pyramid scheme when it gets right down to it.
I did not realize that lol. I wonder what my actual GPT usage has cost over 3 years. I live in Maine and the median wage is around $20 an hour. So idk nothing is designed for my economy.
